Savoury

Those Words Just Seem to Explain (Independent)

Those Words Just Seem to Explain is the latest effort from Halifax four-piece Savoury (no relation), who at times bear a striking audible resemblance to The Northern Pikes, and also invoke The Gin Blossoms in the way that leader Mark Savoury delivers “Break Me.” One of the standout tracks here is “Pickin’ Up the Pieces,” which is a track that should be in regular rotation on rock radio---the harmonies evoke an early Wide Mouth Mason vibe. That said, for a band named Savoury, the album as a whole is bland and fails to truly engage the aural palette.
